In a couple of hours im going to start a 1700km drive to Spain.

Is anyone else apart from Rach* embarking on any epic drives just for a holiday?

Also, does anyone know of any nice places to stay around Montpellier (sp)in case i decide not to do this in one hit.

Bring on the joys of a underpowered '90s Escort for about 16 hours smiledriving

An average speed of over 60 mph is a bit hopeful! I did London to berlin which is only about 800miles and that took 14 hours! Including stretches of 140mph on the autobahns. smile
Thats what google said. Im expecting a hour or two more when fuel stops are put in and im expecting bad traffic east of Munich as its the first day of the Bavarian school holidays frown

Did the book 'Why Don't You Fly' arrive yet????

And in similar vein, see question above :-)
Nope, looks like im reading Cannonball and the Driver again smile

erm, bascially hire cars were §500 for the week plus flights at 140 each. When i thought about it, wasting §500 on a car for a week when my car is only worth that it just didnt compute!

Last time i went out to spain the hire car was only §120 for a week.
